CONNECTIONS of Telescope have their sights firmly focused on the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes after his impressive victory at Royal Ascot.

The four-year-old fulfilled his tall home reputation with a seven-length demolition of the opposition in the Group Two Hardwicke Stakes on Saturday, and Group One targets now beckon.

The colt, trained by Sir Michael Stoute, will return to the Berkshire course for the midsummer showpiece on July 26, sponsored by the Qipco British Champions Series, for which he will be leading contender.
